ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES ARE ERRATIC. SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SOMETIMES READS UP TO 30 MPH ABOVE OR BELOW ACTUAL SPEED. CONCURRENTLY THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS READING AT ITS MAX AND WILL NOT RETURN TO 0 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE CARS WITH THESE PANELS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS PROBLEM IS WITH THE REAR DOOR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT SPOILER. BRACKETS HOLDING IT ON BROKE.. BELIEVE IT TO BE A DESIGN FAULT AFTER TALKING WITH JUNKYARDS AND DEALERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. JUNKYARDS TELL ME THAT IS A BIG CALLED FOR ITEM, BUT IT IS DEALER SUPPLIED ONLY. SAFETY RISK OF IT FLYING OFF AND STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING OF THE ENVOY SLT 2003 WAS COMPLETELY INTERRUPTED DUE TO A BROKEN SHAFT IN THE POWER STEERING PUMP. AS A RESULT THE SERPENTINE BELT SLIPPED ON THE EDGE OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP PULLEY AND WAS WEARING OUT QUICKLY, WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A BROKEN BELT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE HAD AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE FOR WEEKS AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTO STORE AND HAD THEM PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER THE CODE READ SMALL EVAP LEAK SO I BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THAT DIDN'T WORK SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC FOR IT TO BE CHECKED OUT AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. ON THE FIRST VISIT HE SCANNED THE COMPUTER AND CODES READ PO 442 & 445 ? SMALL/LARGE EMISSION LEAK, HE CHECKED ALL COMPONENTS AND COULD FIND NOTHING. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AS THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE WAS GETTING WORSE AND THE GAS SMELL WAS STILL PRESENT THE SAME CODE CAME UP FOR THE EMISSION/EVAP LEAK AND STILL NOTHING FOR THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE. HE THEN DID A SMOKE TEST AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE FILLER NECK OF THE PLASTIC GAS TANK THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND MUST BE REPLACED. HE REPLACED THE SPEEDOMETER SENDER WHICH STILL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND BOTH OF THESE ISSUES TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH OTHER ENVOY OWNERS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE PARTS AND WHY GMC IS LEAVING THE COST OF REPAIRS UP TO THE OWNERS. THESE ARE MANUFACTURE??S DEFECTS. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A REPUTABLE COMPANY. I HAVE CALLED INTO GMC SUPPORT AND THEY AS WELL AS STAFF AT A GMC DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS WAS STATED IN A RECALL BUT MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED SO NO FINANCIAL HELP WAS GIVEN. $1,215.29 LATER I HAVE A NEW GAS TANK AND MY SPEEDOMETER STILL DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS... TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR YOUR PRODUCT MALFUNCTIONS!!! HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES THERE NEED TO BE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED ON THESE VEHICLE ISSUES? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT LEES THAN 1/4 TANK OF FUEL THE GAS GAUGE IS CLOSE, AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE GOES WAY PAST FULL AND WILL STAY LIKE THAT UNTIL FUEL IS BELOW 1/4 TANK. LAST TIME THE TRUCK TOOK 19.85 GALLONS IN A 20 GALLON TANK UNTIL IT STARTED WORKING CORRECTLY AGAIN. ONE TANK IT WORKED FINE AND NEXT FILL UP IT WAS WAY BEYOND FULL AGAIN. AT THE SAME TIME WHEN FUEL GAUGE IS WRONG, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE OFF. MANY TIMES FREEZING AT 35MPH WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH. AFTER MANY RESETS OF IGNITION, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL COME BACK. ALSO WHEN ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE, THE RADIO HAS NO AUDIO. EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, THE RADIO WILL COME BACK AND WORK ON ONE SPEAKER. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS OUT. WHEN WEATHER IS WARMER, ALL 3 FUNCTIONS SEEM TO WORK REGULARLY. BELOW 50 DEGREES, ALL MALFUNCTION. *TR

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ON 12/23/13, WHILE PARKED THE VEHICLE DIED. WHEN RESTARTING, IT WAS A LITTLE SLOW BUT DID END UP STARTING. ON 12/24/13, I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND IT SHOWED THAT THE CCA'S JUST NEEDED A GOOD CHARGE SO I LET THE VEHICLE RUN FOR 45 MINUTES. A FEW HOURS LATER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN TURN OVER. ON 12/25/13, REMOVED THE BATTERY AND REINSTALLED IT. THE VEHICLE STARTED FINE AND RAN WELL FOR A FEW DAYS. ON 1/1/14, VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. ENDED UP RESTARTING BUT I HAD TO GIVE IT GAS TO DO SO. ON 1/2/14, I STARTED THE CAR TO WARM IT UP AND IT STARTED FINE. I LET IT RUN FOR 20-30 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IT. WHEN I GOT IN THE VEHICLE, IT SAID THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING AND THE STABILITRACK LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I HAD TO GET A CAB TO WORK & HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. I'M HOPING TO HEAR BACK TOMORROW IN REGARDS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. ALSO, HAD TO GET A RENTAL VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME FOR TRANSPORTATION. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH ROAD, NO BUMPS, AND REAR HATCH GLASS SHATTERED. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE'S ENVOYS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT SOMEBODY SHOT OUT MY WINDOW BECAUSE WHO HAS EVER HEARD OF A WINDOW JUST EXPLODING FOR NO REASON. WELL, APPARENTLY GMC FOUND A WAY TO MAKE WINDOWS, "JUST EXPLODE", AND THEN WEASELS THEIR WAY OUT OF PAYING TO FIX THIS EMBARRASSMENT OF AMERICAN ENGINEERING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ GMC HAS REFUSED ALL CASES COMPENSATION FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO I CAME HERE TO VOICE MY FRUSTRATION BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE $795 TO FIX MY TRUCK. I AM WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. MY 1999 VW JETTA WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE THE GROUND EFFECT TRIM WOULD GET CAUGHT ON PARKING BLOCKS AND CAUSE DAMAGE, BUT THIS WINDOW EXPLODING IS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. SO I WILL CALL GMC ON JAN.2 WHEN OFFICES OPEN BACK UP, AND DEPENDING ON HOW THAT GOES I MIGHT CALL UP A BUDDY WHO PRACTICES LAW TO SEE WHAT THE CHANCES ARE FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR IS REAPING WITH THE SMELL OF GAS ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER CARE CENTER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEING HAZARDOUS AND ALL THEY OFFERED WAS A $150 VOUCHER AVAILABLE AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP. I AM CONFUSED AS TO WHY 2006/2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS MATTER AND THE 2003 MODEL WAS NOT RECALLED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT WILL EXPLODE! *TR
